Emma’s Pearls

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Emma Smith is now at your fingertips. We sat down with app creator Kevin Wade to discuss his work with the Joseph Smith and Emma Hale Smith Historical Society. Together, they are bridging the gap between history and technology to provide the most accurate information available on Emma's life. https://www.emmasmith.com/  

Gracia Jones and I talk to Nyla Rubia. Nyla is the 2nd Great-Granddaughter of Joseph and Emma Hale Smith through their son, Alexander, and his daughter Coral.

When we tell the youth “Church History,” they yawn. We don’t have a history problem, we have a storytelling problem. But what if it sounded like their playlist? The KING of NEW YORK is not a lesson. It's a cinematic uprising. A hip-hop musical oratorio about Joseph Smith - and his explosive 1844 run for President of the United States, where he proposed a six-year plan to abolish slavery. Historians called it political suicide. He never made it to the ballot; becoming the first U.S. presidential candidate to be assassinated. Orchestra. Hip-hop. Theater. Film. Faith and American history told through a lens this generation will actually press play on. This is bigger than a show. It's a cultural moment. Live premieres. Faith-based streaming. Scholastic & Educational screenings. National & Global dialogue. We are building a small circle of Kingdom-minded sponsors to bring this to the big screen at scale. If you feel called to help build something history will remember.
